SHARON A. HENO

With more than 20 years of experience in mental health, Sharon Heno is the Founder and CEO of Behavioral Health Counseling & Consulting, where she leads an experienced team dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality behavioral health services throughout Louisiana.

A Licensed Professional Counselor with supervisory privileges, Sharon’s focus has evolved from direct clinical work to leading the vision and growth of the organization. She is passionate about building a strong leadership team, cultivating a healthy practice culture, and ensuring clients have access to exceptional behavioral health care through experienced clinicians.

In addition to leading the practice, Sharon works with individuals seeking deeper personal growth, purpose, and authentic transformation. Drawing from decades of clinical experience, she encourages growth that honors the emotional, relational, and spiritual aspects of life. As a lifelong Catholic, she has become increasingly focused on helping others deepen their relationship with God through Catholic mentorship, discernment, and personal formation.

Sharon is also the published author of Unstoppable Sass: Struggles to Strength and is currently developing additional books, Catholic resources, and courses designed to help people move beyond simply knowing about God to living a life rooted in faith, purpose, and freedom.

Sharon earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Loyola University New Orleans and her master’s degree in Counselor Education from the University of New Orleans. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Louisiana with supervisory privileges and has served individuals, families, schools, and communities throughout her career.

Originally from New Orleans, Sharon now divides her time between Louisiana and New York City. She enjoys writing, exploring both cities with her beloved English Cream Retriever, Sawyer, and rescue cat, Ziggy, and cheering on her daughter, Ele’, as she pursues her acting career.

Whether leading her behavioral health practice, writing, mentoring, or developing Catholic formation resources, Sharon remains committed to helping others live with greater purpose, hope, and freedom.
